EG Silverbucket review
Deep planning, skills matching and forecasting for mature project teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EG Silverbucket is a cloud-based resource planning platform for project-driven organisations, including engineering consultancies, contractors, architects and IT consultancies. It brings together real-time visibility into people, projects, capacity and workloads with daily planning, project allocation, competency management, skills-based matching and resource requests. Teams can also use Gantt timelines, project milestones, forecasting, reporting, time tracking and actual-versus-plan comparisons. Web and API access support use across operational and connected business systems.
Planning depth is the main reason to consider EG Silverbucket. Capacity and utilisation planning can be combined with skills data, requests and scenario planning for pipeline or hiring needs, giving mature teams tools to compare possible staffing decisions before committing to them. Drag-to-select project resource planning, forecasting and custom exports extend the product beyond basic scheduling. The published commercial model is contact sales: pricing is customized by resourcing-pool size, there is no free plan, and a 30-day free trial is available.
The platform also fits organisations that need resource planning connected to wider financial and operational workflows. Integrations include ERP systems, PSA systems, Power BI, Excel, time-tracking systems and finance systems, while API connectivity supports broader system connections. EG Silverbucket was founded in 2010, and its feature set covers planning, allocation, skills, requests, scenarios, reporting and actuals in one product. It should suit mature project teams that need structured capacity decisions and cross-system reporting. Teams looking only for lightweight scheduling, or organisations outside a project-driven operating model, should consider a narrower tool instead.
